Byatt Shawl PDF Pattern
Byatt Shawl PDF Pattern
Byatt is an asymmetrical shawl inspired by the English novelist A.S. Byatt.
Most of the shawl is knitted in garter stitch and it uses two skeins of hand-dyed 4ply sock yarn. You never work more than one colour at any time, as the braided effect is obtained using a slip-stitch pattern. Byatt is finished off with a lacy edge in the contrast colour and a picot cast-off. The pattern features a small cable, but a cable needle is optional.
Byatt is designed to use every inch of that gorgeous hand-dyed yarn, so please take time to check your gauge. The pattern includes a section of how to modify the size of the shawl.
The pattern is both charted and has written instructions. It is fully tech-edited, contains clear photos, and a schematic.
